Wondrous

for Symphony Orchestra
Grade 4
by Karel Butz

When composing Wondrous for the Carmel High School Symphony
Orchestra’s 2014 Midwest Clinic performance, I desired to capture the
grandeur surrounding this celebratory occasion as well as the vibrant
character of the youth performing this overture-style piece. My hope for
both listeners and performers is that they gain a sense of inspiration,
delight, excellence, and beauty upon listening to Wondrous. -K.B.
